Archive for the ‘FIve-O Motorsport’ tag

With the serpentine belt all figured out, I could take the manifolds and engine accessories back off – ain’t no way I’m dropping this engine with anything more attached to it than necessary. Fortunately, my injectors just recently arrived from Five-O Motorsport. They’re actually Bosch 24-pound injectors designed for a Mustang application, but enough Jeep stroker builders have discovered these injectors swap straight over to their engines (and, in most cases, are necessary to provide enough fuel for the increase in displacement) that Five-O now packages them in quantities of six and eight. The injectors popped right in to the manifold bungs, but it took a little elbow grease (and a light skim of oil) to pop them into the fuel rail.

To go along with the Cherokee throttle body, I decided to use the Cherokee throttle cable. It’s significantly longer than the Spirit throttle cable because it snakes around over the rocker arm cover, then doubles back to pull on the throttle body. Fortunately, it pops right into the same hole in the firewall.

But I had to use the Cherokee gas pedal assembly instead of the Spirit pedal assembly because the Cherokee’s has a longer arm to pull on the cable. Again, fortunately, the mounting bolt pattern of the Cherokee’s pedal assembly matches that in the Spirit.
